Tanzania Declares War On Pregnant Teenage Schoolgirls by panafrican(m): 9:11pm On Jun 23, 2017

This is a roll call, Pan-Africanists and all intellectuals all over the world should answer PRESENT

The Government of Tanzania has decided to kick all pregnant teenage girls out of school, not even understanding this type of decision could make those girls commit suicide in a country where school is the main path to success.
It should also be noticed that from 1960 through the mid- 1980s this decision led to the death of thousands of girls in Cote d'Ivoire , forcing the president of that country to rescind the ban.

John Magufuli's pregnant schoolgirl ban angers Tanzanian women
Tanzania's President John Magufuli has been condemned for comments that girls who give birth should not be allowed to return to school.
An online petition has been set up and a pan-African women's organisation is mobilising to get the president to apologise and reverse his comments.
Mr Magufuli warned schoolgirls at a rally on Monday that: "After getting pregnant, you are done."
A law passed in 2002 allows for the expulsion of pregnant schoolgirls.
The law says the girls can be expelled and excluded from school for "offences against morality" and "wedlock"
